Show any stuff from short-lived minor league teams
My home town of Mankato, Minnesota was a low-level farm club of the New York Mets in 1967 and 1968--the Mankato Mets. It drew fewer than 10K fans in both seasons combined. I have seen a pic of one program, but no regular game tickets, which might be so non-descript as to be incapable of association with the team. No yearbooks, no team photos, scheds, nada. I have a complimentary season pass somewhere, which is so plain it looks like a school lunch ticket (for those of us oldsters who remember them). I remember going to one game, and I vaguely recall that their caps looked like what would become the Montreal Expos logo. Anyway, here is a flyer I won on ebay several years ago about the batter-up Banquet coming to town, with two stapled tickets to such gala. [note Kato Ballroom locale: TRIVIA--Buddy Holly played there about a week before his plane went down]
Anyone else have some obscure minor-league stuff to show?
